When I ........... For using wvdial correctly, I have found the following steps work - 1. As user, touch ~/temp/wvdial.log 2. As root, run 'pppconfig' and follow the instructions, 3. As root, chmod o+x /usr/sbin/pppd. 4. As root, run 'wvdialconf'. 5. As root, edit /etc/wvdial.conf to add your login and password etc. 6. As root, 'visudo' and add yourself for wvdial and kill(useful for x-wvdial). 7. Now you can log in as a user with 'sudo wvdial' 8. Alternately, install x-wvdial, configure it and use it to run wvdial. I use debian, so make necessary changes in the above as required. HTH, -- ********************** K. Ghosh, G. K.
